hey everyone...got a question...
my doc just switched me from zoloft (75mg) to paxil (10mg for now)(panic disorder.) zoloft just wasn't working for me anymore. i have been taking the paxil for 3 days now and i keep getting those damn electric zaps. otherwise i feel great...but the zaps are really getting strong and i hate it. how long do you think i will feel this?

I used to be on paxil, and got off of it, and had the electric zaps really bad, mine only lasted for about...a month or so? I know it can be really irritating and uncomfortable... :( I dont realy have any advice though...except to just give it a bit of time, everyones different. so you may not experience them or too long
I made the switch from Zoloft to Paxil myself but I was on only 20mg so I did not feel much of a difference. With any SSRI you will get brain zaps when lowering or stopping dosages. I suggest calling your Dr and ask their opinion. Best of luck to you!
